And here is the last vehicle. This vehicle has some odd features.
CraftID:Rough Terrain Walker, TL 15, Cr 4,926,840
Hull:9/23, Dip=10, Config=7USL, Armor=40G, Unloaded=106.6t,
loaded=128.3t
Power:1/2, Fusion=54MW, Duration=8/24 days
Locomotion:3/6, 6 Legs, P/W=420, Road=300kph, OffRoad=240kph

Control:Computer=1bis, Panel=holodyn.linked(x60),
Environ.=BasicEnv,BasicLS,ExtLS,Airlock
Accom:Crew=1 (Driver), Seat=Adequate(x4)
Others:Fuel=10.368kl (192h), Cargo=21kl, drinking water tank=798l,
ObjSize=Average, EMLevel=Faint
Comments:
The Environment is only supported in the cabine. The cargo hold lays outside
the environment controls, but it is enclosed. The Airlock has two doors,
one to enter the cargo hold directly, and one to leave the vehicle.
Environment controls can be added to the cargo hold, by sacrificing
1.05 kl of cargo for an additional control unit.
The speed of the vehicle is rather odd. That's because the suspension is
designed, for only 1/6 of the power plant output. If the P/W ratio is
calculated properly with respect to the power, the transmission and
suspension of the vehicle can handle, you get the following results:
P/W=70, Road=139kph, OffRoad=111kph
but the Design Evaluation Section of the Referee's Manual only use the
Power Output of the plant, not the power the vehicle can handle.
The Rough Terrain Walker is build for two purposes:
1. It is a vehicle, for really rough terrain, such as mountains or
large glaciers.
2. It provides a walking Power Plant for expeditions, where Grav Vehicles
have difficulties to land, e.g. in very rough terrain, or on planets,
where strong winds dominate the climate. Up to 45MW of the PowerPlant
can be derivided to external consumers.
